CFD on HPC - OpenFOAM example
A three-day online course on the use of the OpenFOAM software package will be organized by the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, on 28-30 September 2026.
OpenFOAM is currently the most developed open-source CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) system. It is an open-source system that any user can enhance according to their needs. Initially, the use of ParaView, a graphical environment for visually reviewing and processing data from OpenFOAM, will be shown. This will be followed by an explanation of how the OpenFOAM environment works, with demonstrations of simple examples. Since the foundation of CFD is the mesh, the use of three open-source mesh generators will be demonstrated: GMSH, BlockMesh, and SnappyHexMesh. Subsequently, the application of various areas within the OpenFOAM environment will be explained and demonstrated.
The training is aimed at students and staff in academia and industry who want to learn more about the OpenFOAM open source CFD platform.
